In 1969 Tony DeLorenzo won the United States SCCA championship in his L88 Corvette - this is the winningest Corvette in history with 22 consecutive victories!
In that first picture was it racing against prototypes?
Yes - the first picture is from the world sports car championship which was open to Group 6 Prototype Sports Cars, Group 4 Sports Cars and Group 3 Grand Touring cars. Tony won the SCCA championship in 1969 not the world sports car championship.
Wow I knew the L88's were fast but I didn't know they were fast enough to compete with prototypes.
Reminds me of the [R]Corvette Sting Ray '67 [sic] from Gran Turismo 2!the 1963 Corvette Grand Sport raced by Bob Bondurant was a killer too and the L88 raced by DeLorenzo later on, both Corvettes are a piece of true racing history & they both looked like something out of this world at that time!... you got my vote

A similar version to that was in GT2, as well. [R]Corvette Stingray '82:I took these photos during the July 2016 "Legends of Brands Hatch Super Prix" - I hope you all like them.
